Everything about Aamir Khan is larger-than-life. With every project, he raises the bar for himself as a producer and as an actor. So much that his name has become the ISI mark of movies. You know when he signs a film, it’s gonna be worth watching. Also, when he shows an interest in a project, all ears perk up. That’s what happened when he expressed his desire to play the mythological character of Karan from the epic Mahabharat. Of course, he wondered whether he’d be the right choice for the role, given his physique.

His other favourite character, he once mentioned, is Lord Krishna. And when Baahubali director SS Rajamouli reportedly mentioned that he wanted to make Mahabharat next, everyone put two and two together. Of course, Aamir denied that Rajamouli had approached him. But he expressed his desire to play either one of these characters. He’s so consumed with the idea that he’s willing to pitch it to anyone, who shares his enthusiasm.
